    Good Filteration System Suggetion

    I way say that is a good filter as far as filtering goes, I don't like the way the filter media works the, also they aren't especially quiet. AquaClear 20 or Fluvial C2? Would be my recommendation.

    Sad day :(

    The 4 seemed fine, they chased each other and then stopped, no continued agrettion. Seemed active and healthy. I tested my water last weekend. Mayyyyybe .25 PPM amonia, 0 nitrite, I let it hit 40PPM nitrate so I did a 50% water change and my PH was 6.6. I'm going to get a TDS meter soon.
